"the Christian Copt community, who are the main rearers of pigs in Egypt"

As has been pointed out on FR, this is the real reason to slaughter the pigs, it is a way of doing economic damage to the Coptic Christian community.

Brutality and savagery are really close to the surface in muslim culture, there is no way they can deny that.

[TigersEye]

The pigs are dying from Muslim flu.

A veritable walk in the park for practitioners of the Cult of Death.

PING TO A FEW... :)

I don’t want to see the video. I can imagine it well enough, thank you. It’s despicable the treatment of these animals, whether you agree with Egypt’s seemingly unscientific method of illness eradication or not. There are many more HUMANE methods of culling an animal population if for some reason it ever became necessary (God gave us dominion over animals for a reason).

Sell them to another country that isn’t afraid to eat the pork even — unless there is something the Egyptian’s know about their specific pig population that means necessary and immediate eradication (like an experiment gone horribly awry? LOL).

As far as I understand it, to Muslims pigs are the same as infidels - perhaps a BIT lower, but not much. Is it any surprise that this is the type of war they wage when it comes down to it? (Brutal and horribly inhumane...)

PETA is probably all upset about the treatment of the animals, but when it comes to the treatment of people... not so concerned. They have no clue that some of these same people would love to do the same to their very families — NOT ALL, DEFINITELY NOT ALL — but SOME would like to do the same to them no matter what “side” they profess to support — you are a slave, or you die. These PETA folks just don’t get it, and they will be yelling the loudest on this issue.

Just my $.02.

The clip posted by independent newspaper Al-Masri Al-Yom includes gory images of pigs being beaten with iron bars, piglets being stabbed and animals being kicked alive into bulldozer buckets.

Although like Saddam, they beat their victims with iron bars, they did not cut their heads off, slowly and with a dull blade, as their brother Arabs did, to various humans. Of course cutting their heads off, quickly and with a sharp blade, would be about as merciful as anyone ever is when killing hogs.

Islam is pure evil. Today pigs, tomorrow the Coptic Christians. Islam is a monstrous evil which must be stopped.

The government-controlled Al-Ahram weekly alleged there was chaos at Bassatin, the large abattoir in Cairo where the pigs are supposed to be slaughtered humanely at a rate of 1,200 per day.

"Only the males are killed in accordance with the rules," said journalist Heba Nasreddin, while "the piglets and sows are hit with an iron bar and left to bleed to death."

Seems to be a pattern here...

[VeniVidiVici]

Arab intellectuals, both Christian and Muslim, have accused President Hosni Mubarak's government of having conspired with the Islamist opposition the Muslim Brotherhood, which opposes rearing pigs "on Islamic land."

So maybe the "Muslim Brotherhood" should move.

In spring of '08 I'd take my really cute sun/jenday conure, namely: Sunday, on a daily walk to a Chilean Mesquite tree to show her a wild mommy birdie sitting on two eggs. One day we found the wild mommy birdie sorta stiff.. and headless. She was lying on her side next to the shells of the devoured eggs.
